How long does it take?The complete process should take less than a month. The scheme allows a generous three and a half hours for a 'standard' mediation which should be more than adequate. There is the opportunity to extend the time if it should be required. |
How much does it cost?To help you know your expenditure in advance there is a flat charge for the 'standard' mediation. This includes VAT and in most cases it includes the cost of accommodation. The fee is £375inc vat per party irrespective of the amount involved or the complexity of the dispute. |
